Annotation
From large-scale explosion testing it has been seen that the overpressure is controlled mainly by three factors: stoichiometry and mixing, congestion leading to increased turbulence and scale. Enclosed fires are controlled by the same factors. However, for enclosed fires the result is not so much an increase in pressure as it is an increase in temperature. Numerous experiments with pool, spray and jet fires with hydrocarbons have been conducted in both enclosures and in the open, and at different scales. Most of these tests result in temperatures that are expected and are referred to in the literature. However at some configurations we have measured temperatures exceeding what were expected for the test setup.
